Animal Research

I have my bachelors w/ a double major in history and biology. I am assuming by your name your still in school.

I worked 3 months for a research drug company after I graduated college. This is where I witnessed animals exposed to incredibly inhumne acts for the name of science.

And as I mentioned I have traveled quite a bit. This includes having seen "trial" medicine given to those in third world nations.

I have seen loved ones suffer the pain from a disease that has no cure. Meanwhile, we use animals to test new therapies and believe their biochemistry translates to ours. This all while new advances in medicine are kept from being developed because of political agendas and conservative self-righteousness.

Liberal based?
Tell me...why are most professors and scientist’s liberals?

What does my name or my student status have to do with anything? Yes, I have multiple undergraduate degrees and I am currently a veterinary student. None of these degrees have anything to do with the University of Kentucky.

So...your experience in ONE research setting makes all research bad. I choose not to base every opinion on only one experience, but that is my choice.

You mention seeing family members die of diseases that have no cure. You don't feel that research using animal models has made ANY advances in human or veterinary medical care? I'm sorry but I must disagree with you.
